This investigation has focused on analysing the position of the regional press with respect to the subject of an older population than in the rest of Spain and Europe; that of the autonomous region of Castilla and Leon. This study presents the results of the content analysis on the news frames of information on old age, which were published most widely in the digital press of this autonomous region. We have analysed 799 news articles about elderly people, published in all types of genres, in the most widely published digital press in Castilla and Leon.
